What would have happened on Mount Sinai if the Jewish Nation to be, had not
accepted the Torah? Not only would we be buried by the mountain that Hashem
held over our head as a bucket. ( rashi) but the entire creation would return to
To- u- ve - Vo- hu. Void and emptiness. As we see from Gemorra Shabbas 88 A
-Resh Lakish said: Why is it written." And there was evening and there was
morning, the sixth day" What is the purpose of the additional "hey - Ha Shishi,
needs to say only shishi, the extra "the " "hey" -teaches us that the Holy
one blessed be he, stipulated with the Works of Creation and said thereto. " If
Israel accepts the Torah, ye shall exist; but if not, I will turn your back into
emptiness and formlessness "
Pretty cosmic if you ask me.
And you can wish me a Mazal Tov as my daughter Sara became engaged this
week to a beautiful boy, from Chicago, of all places.
Shabbat Shalom
